Ireceived the C.O. and letter. Thanks very much.

Kocheris a great bother—capricious. He still hasn’t received us. We
shall have to wait.

Redoubleyour efforts in regard toPravdaif
possible.Miron has been taken.We’re short-handed.I
cannot write now.

Goodnews from St. Petersburg about the P.C. and the Metalworkers’
Union, also about prospects for the school:promisedby the six. Samoilov is due in Zakopane in 10
days. Plekhanov is in Paris, they say. See him if you can, it’s extremely
important. I wrote to him (in strictest secrecy—only to him personally)
about the school and invited him to
				come.[1]He keeps silent, the slyboots, Ignatius Loyola, the master shuffler. All
the worse for him. We shall have a school. Gorky has as good as consented.

Aurevoir!Yours,Lenin

P.S.Best regards to all our Paris friends.

P.S.We pin great hopes on Tulyakov. Less on the others (of his
group). They thirst for “learning” and demand Plekhanov. He’d be a fool
not to go.

Thereare rumours here that Plekhanov is going to Beatenberg round
about the 10th of July. Have you heard any thing about this in Paris?

There’sno needto tell Alexinsky about the school for the
time being. We still have time to do thatifneed be. It will not
be until August.
